(1/18/13) gone are the mom and pop stores that I once knew candy stores , malt shops, newspaper and magazine stands too. life was so much simpler then, you knew your neighbors and had a lot of friends. schools were for learning, and where kids could go to play now you don't see that on any given day. teachers and adults were respected and a sense of pride in the air "nowadays no one seems to care". they are trying to pass...

On the twelfth day before Christmas my happy honey sent me twelve heavy honeycombs with eleven live busy bees buzzing around. Hungrily l ploughed my mouth into them and lo! Ten sharp stings were drilled into me in return. At nine oclock l was whizzed to a funny family doctor who robotically administered eight jumping jabs on me without as much as a wink for his antics. I actually saw seven stars of dizziness with my naked...

The weight was beginning to crush her. She could feel the heaviness of it on her shoulders, the squeezing of her chest till it hurt, the throbbing in her gut. It was the weight of too many secrets.  The first she could remember had come from her father, whispering in the night “You can’t tell anyone, sweetie. It’ll be our little secret.” A secret she hated and had not understood. She was only four.And years later, “You’re...

Black takes over sightEyes wander searchingFrom behind the cloudsAppears a shimmering moonThen quickly vanishesHidden from viewEyes roaming seekingClouds open once moreRevealing a pin point of silverShining bright a lonely starThen another and anotherJoined again by the moonLight chasing away darkNot only light or darkness Nor just black and white Much the same as life Day and night filled With subtle shades of grey

PixelmaticThe world does revolve around me… no it doesn’t- well it should. Artists proceed with an essence that pinches their surroundings- knocking on distance. Distance… just because you live in your own world does not mean the world revolves around you. In your world you are an undiscovered beauty, in the world you are nothing.mmm. (website) .pzqI never questioned this routinely rule, it had to be something right? It s...

Rufus and Cynthia sat enjoying the company of each other. In each other’s arms, they felt peaceful, their minds at rest and their noisy souls seeming to calm each other.They awoke in the morning in a rush. Cynthia had to get to work and Rufus was late to see a client. “So, Rufus, wanna meet after work? We can go back to mine this time.”“Okay, same wee cafe?”“Yeah, that place is becoming ours,” Cynthia yawned.“Innit just?...

We have all heard of Naugahyde. It was used in upholstering custom cars in the 1960’s and 1970’s. But does anyone know where it comes from? Does it come from an animal? Where does it live? What does it eat? How is it gathered? I have wondered about these things for years. After extensive research and hunting of historical and agricultural archives I think I have pieced together the ‘Life of a Nauga’ history. Back in 1930...

I stare at you,and you stare backI hate what I see,yet still I lookAt my reflection Two years laterI stare once moreNothing has changedI still hate what I seeI hate who I amAnd I hate my reflection Another year goesand I feel trapped in timeNothing gets betterThose were all liesI hate how my eyesAre covered in blackAnd my lips are crackedGrinning back in my reflection It seems no matter how oftenI find a new mirrorI never...

The Gate as the sun turns red evil masses rumbling screaming for blood and souls drums beating flags waving all fall to a knee for HIM pledges of evil and lust for blood horns blare all turn to see warrior princess dressed in purple standing atop the Gate calling all to mass forward axes pounding on shields swords drawn golden light shone waiting for the onslaught to begin blood running as rivers of destruction wicked dee...

"Stay with me, baby stay with me. Tonight don't leave me alone. Walk with me, come and walk with me to the edge of all we've ever known... You know I could not want you more than I did right then as our heads leaned in..." -Parachute, Kiss Me Slowly. Under the moon, Hold my hand, Skip with me Down this golden dirt road, Don't run, Allow me to lean close, into your warmth And feel your lips on mine. I don't know how this w...

Jealousy can set one into a blinding rage. Darkness all that awaits within this cage. Holding our breath till nearly passing out.Forehead turning purple, filled with doubt. Wanting something that we can never own.Senses delirious, all self-confidence blown. Reality fades, abandoned, no longer able to grip.Confusion rampant, mind goes on a revenge trip. Decisions become clouded, fueled by this strain.Assumed words, misunde...

She was an afterthought, one could assume,Just a throwaway bit of loose baggage. Accepting the offer, not to presume. Astonishing brightness came out of gloom. Her female love betrayed, took a new road, Believing that his was the only page To be read in the book of this new code,Admitting addiction, submission owed. Who could expect it, the call was a strain, From one who was unknown, seeking a mage To magically soothe an...

"If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass me by?... 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you... tonight." -from Dear John, A Thousand Miles. Wrap your arms around me, Hold me close, That's all I want As we lay together And my heart slows To match yours As we sleep next to each other. Body to body, Heart to heart, Soul to soul, That's all I want.

The price of perfection, one cannot bare. The price of freedom, one cannot share. The hours engulf you, the minutes indulge you. Time waits for no man, yet you're still waiting here. Trading places for thee unknown, feeling like a fool, but waiting for your soul mate, seems like too much to behold. You sin in the masses,wasting away in this world, You fuck up second chances, making false promises to those you hold dear.Th...
